3. View some video testimony of Holocaust survivors. What does this kind of historical documentation provide that other kinds do not.
Video testimony allows me to get a deeper understanding of the trauma the Holocaust caused the Jews. With written testimony, I don't get the full impact. But with video, I get to see the pain in their faces as they recount their stories and hear the sadness in their voices. Also it makes it more real to me. With video, it really hits you that this horrible event happened, and this person is the proof. Written testimony can be false or exaggerated. Although some video could be exaggerated as well, I get more of the story by watching personal accounts.

You're right, but to each their own. Some are exaggerated to the extreme, and some are actual accounts. Depends on the situation I guess, but your comment on my blog, the Holocaust was a serious event.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way when you talk about how the videos give you a deeper feeling towards the situation. With books, you just don't get the same feeling.
